THE town of Easton, Nd, has an abundant
supply Of pure water obtained from artesian wells
y ct comparatively small expense. DR.. Bateman,
of that town, who has written to DR.. Piper on the
subject, and whose letter is published in THE
UNION day, gives some very valuable and in
teresting information on the subject, aud shows
that the artesian well system has worked to the
entire satisfaction of the people of Easton. DR..
Bateman says-and to this we invite the particu-
lar attention of the people of Towsontown-that
since Easton abolished its hogs pens and procured
been a single case Of typhoid feuer in the to,on.
Here is plenty of food for reflection.

@>lf one-half the reports one hears about
some of the behavior at few of the great society
events in Baltimore be true, it shows condition
of affairs that is disgracefulj in the extreme. That
men do sometimes imbibe SO much wine on these
occasions as to make themselves odious, is COM
mon enough, out that they should get beastly
drunk and unable to leave the house where they
have been entertained, is rather carrying the thing
too far and is serious reflection upon what is re-.
garded as "the best society" OF course we know
It IS altogether too common to be tolerated. The
behavior of some of the society swells on these oc
cassions is calculated to disgust those to whose
houses they have been invited, and the proper
way to serve such fellows would be to cut them
of entirely from the invitation list and thus make
that debarred them from all social considerations.
Unfortunately for the Society of the present day,
money has got to be the passport to social prefer
ment, and it makes very little difference what q
mans character may be, if he has plenty of money
and makes big show, he is Toasted and petted
and made a social lion of generally. This is all
wrong, and we are glad to know that there are
still some people left who adhere to the time
rule of measuring man by his real worth, and
not by the size of his bank account. The women
of the present day are largely responsible for this
the reform that self-respect and decency demands.

@-It is very gratifying to know that the
property holders of Towsontown moving
promptly towards securing new and ample sup
ply of water that will supercede the present wells
Of course it is to be expected that there will be
those among the citizens who will not cooperate
with these public-spirited gentlemen, and will do
all they can to discourage the enterprise. But
this is not surprising. No public improvement
was ever started that did not develop lot of car
pers and kickers, who are always ready with poor
reasoning and sophistical argument to impede the
wheels of progress. The good work has been
started and it must not be permitted to languish
or fail. We must improve our many natural ad-
vantages and thereby enhance the value of our
property and make Towsontown what it deserves
to be--the most desirable suburban town in the
vicinity of Baltimore. Old fogyism has been
here. This is age of advancement and we must
keep up or suffer the disgraceful and damaging
consequences. Let US all put our shoulders to the
wheel and lend every assistance in our power to
further the work that has at last been naugurated.

8- Our neighbor of the Democrat takes up
the Towsontown water question and assays to
discuss it from standpoint that is not at all ten
able. He says the report of the members of the
State Board of Health, lately published in TIE
UNION, sis not calculated to boom the price of real
estate, to bring any considerable influx of
strangers to the town." The investigation was
not set on foot for either of these purposes, but it
was made for the purpose of pointing out to the
residents of the town the dangers that Turk in the
impure wells from which our water supply is
drawn. Our neighbor must know that for at
least five years-if be has been here that long
Towsontown has practically been at stand still,
notwithstanding the advent of the steam railroad.
There has been nothing doing in real estate, the
population has not increased, except by natural
growth, no houses have been built, and the number
of our summer visitors has fallen off until now we
have only scores where we formerly had hundreds.
There is cause for this unfortunate condition of
affairs and it is to remedy this that the present
agitation is going on. Towsontown has perhaps
more natural advantages than any other place of
its size in the State, but these must be improved
and we must keep abreast of the times if we would
make the town what it should be. Suppose we
fail to take this matter in hand now, and do the
best we can to bring about a different condition
of affairs is it not plain that in three or five years
we will be worse off than we are to-day Is it
good policy, because our water supply is bad now,
to allow it to get worse, instead of seeking to i'm
prove it? Will it not benefit the town more to
acknowledge that things are not as they should
be, but that we intend to remedy existing evils
and put the place in condition to attract people
and capital, instead of allowing it to grow worse
year by year Westminster, Easton, Catonsville
and other towns in the State found it necessary to
procure pure water supply and the people went
to work and secured it. If these places need pure
water and plenty of it, why not Towsontown :
This is the way we look at the question, and all
our interests being here, We want to see Towson-
town grow and take its position with the live
towns Of the State.
